Elsewhere, other temples have begun to accept ashes through the mail to be interred in joint graves.
One such temple, Kenshoin in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, began the service in October.

In my bunker/family that seems to be the minimum duration to hold onto anything including old baby clothes, newspaper and pretty much everything you can put your hand on...

...and meat....which is why I hope you have a separate fridge for the kitchen

Apparently the temple has been shelling out insane money to get the earth packed and a cement sqaure donut part made each time...I'm sure I can rent the earth packing equipment and, with a lil help from Taro, could make a plywood mold for the square donuts.

Animal bones, people bones, it's all part of the same cycle. No big deal.
But ... and I'm sure there are regional differences ... aren't the bones/ashes placed in the grave in urns?
Another interesting point: the bones and ashes you're given, in the urn, at the crematory are apparently only a "representative selection" from the cremation. You're only given the important bits, and the rest gets disposed of elsewhere.

"Are given" !?
Dood, you pick them yourself fresh from the cooking tray...

Not quite. You see the whole cremated body, but then they take it out back, crush some of it up, and bring you those "selected bits" on a tray, a few of which family members then ceremonially pick up and put in the urn, but then the attendant does the rest, sometimes explaining what each bit is as he/she puts it in the urn. You don't start picking up the remains immediately after cremation.

There may be regional differences.
Here in Hyogo we got the key of the oven where my mother-in-law was cremated, and my wife got to open the oven after a couple of hours.
That kind of guaranteed that the ashes were genuine (provided the crematorium didn't have a spare key, which they probably have).
Then, some employee from the crematorium gives an anatomy lesson, explaining what the different parts are, while putting his non-equal chopsticks (one bamboo, and one made of another wood) in some parts (like the skull). Thereafter the family members cherry pick the ashes with their chopsticks and put them in the urn.
I do not recall there were bones that were non-incinerated. But then again, it depends on the grilling time.

I love explaining the procedure to newb FG's who thought funerals were to bring graceful closure to the people who survived the deceased....seeing and picking through yaki-grandma's remains with chopsticks can invoke some great visuals
